In this paper the author analyses the contemporary counter-terrorism especially in the context of relevant international and national regulatives. The author first considers counter-terrorism measures in investigation of crimes of terrorism. In the name of protecting states and citizens, “war on terrorism” in some countries legitimized many actions directed towards the suppression of any potential danger from terrorism. Some boundaries have been crossed when the treatment of suspicious individuals is concerned and in that sense the author discusses the use of torture in fight against terrorism. Another issue that is subject of disscusion in this paper is treatment of persons convicted for terrorism. There are two dimensions of that treatment. On the one side is penintentiary treatment ie. the process which take place in prisons and on the other side we can talk about post-penal treatment of convicts for terrorism. The author criticizes the way how dominant approach in contemporary penintentiary and postpenal treatment of terrorists – the program of deradicalization, is realizing. Finally, the author considers counter-terrorism activities of some countries during the Covid-19 pandemic and possible future situation when it comes to terrorism which will influences the application of counter-terrorism measures.
